Protein Yield Competition:
List your bacterial yield here (final mg's- milligrams of total protein) for GBR22
there will be some kind of prize for the winner - of course your yield must be backed up by your data - e.g. Nandrop

2013 Version:

Online Report: use your page on the WikiSpaces (under Protein Labs)


Lab Report:

This report will encompass the last three (3) labs: protein expression, purification, and characterization.

1,000 words total –

Since this is online – you must be efficient with your words! Make them count!

Title: think of something semi-creative

Intro words: this should have some background information on technique of protein production and purification.

There is a good article here: Nat Methods. 2008 Feb;5(2):135-46. Protein production and purification.

Also a good website: http://www.embl.de/pepcore/pepcore_services/index.html

End with an objective statement where you briefly sum-up what you set out to do in this set of experiments. Include a brief hypothesis.

M&M 250 words: be succinct, concise, and brief while allowing an informed reader to be able to replicate your work. Do not show calculations for prelabs.

Results: show images of your results that you have already taken

CAPTIONS: make sure you have good captions (captions don’t count against the word limit)

Transformation plates images - Mention how many colonies you got. Flask images, purple pellet images (include the weight of your pellet)

Images of Elution 1 and 2 in tubes, Nanodrop screen shots (of 280nm reading for Elution 1 only) - Include yields from your Nanodrop spectrophotometry for your protein amounts.

Show brief calculations for Beer’s law calculations. A=Ebc

Protein Gel images, Image of Ladder from web as reference (molecular weight marker used – get from website of company)

Discusssion

Analyze your results, address sources of error, and answer any questions from the handout

Q: Why do we use lysozyme? Why do we use Benzonase/Cyanase?

Q: Briefly, address how the HIS tag system works

Q: Explain what is in the sample after each step: Sample 1, 2, 3,4 ,5, and 6

Q: What is different about the Wash vs. the Elution buffer?

Q: State the size of your protein from the gel and compare it to the size you determined in the protein purification lab

Q: address the purity of your sample




Conclusions

Recap what was done

State key finding(s)

Address future directions/applications of this work to VDS research
